[Paraview] save locations in distributed mode

[Joseph Insley]

Hi,

I'm running ParaView 1.8.2 in distributed mode and have a few questions 
about saving images and batch scripts.  When I go to save a batch script 
ParaView opens a dialog box where I can enter the path and filename of 
where I want to save the script.  ParaView wants to save it on the local 
filesystem, that is local to the client.  But what I really want to do is 
save it on the server side, since that is where I would want to run 
pvbatch, in order to take advantage of the parallelism of the cluster.  
Also, all of the data is stored on the server side, so I really couldn't 
run pvbatch on the client side anyway.  Is there currently a way to 
specify that you want to save a batch script on the server side, rather 
than the client side?

Similarly, from the animation view, when I try to save images the dialog 
box shows the client side filesystem.  Here again I would like to be able 
to save them on the server side, as I have much more disk space there, 
among other reasons.  Is this currently possible with 1.8.2? 

In both cases, if it is not currently possible, is it likely that it could 
be made possible in future releases?

Thanks,
joe.
